Name:
Brian Reid
DJ Alias:
Brian R.-or- one 1/2 of Double Penetration
Years behind the decks:
About 11.
What was the first record you purchased::
It was probably some hard house gem off Tidy or Nukleuz, don’t judge me.
What type of platform do you prefer to perform on (ie. Decks, CDs, Serato, Traktor):
I prefer the CDj’s nowadays, however I believe the vinyl “come-up” is where it should begin. I am also looking into the future with plans for production with my partner-in-crime Brandan (a.k.a. Undertow), so we’ll see how that pans out…
What drew you to the type of dance music that you play:
Originally it was the hard bass drops and epic build-ups of Hard Dance and Trance that propelled me to want to play… but my first true electronic love was D&B. Whilst in the Navy stationed in Norfolk VA, I started listening to electronic music. Some friends of mine made a road trip up to DC to see LTJ Bukem…. hooked me immediately. The Hard Dance thing didn’t come up till I got back to St. Louis.
Favorite record label:
Really dig the nastiness of the Dirtybird and Anabatic labels, as well as the soulfulness of Crosstown Rebels label. Throw a little Get Physical in there and now ya got a party!!!
Best place to find new music:
I usually hit WeekWeek.net for some ideas and then download em off Beatport… sometimes I’ll browse other charts for inspiration… and of course I dig like the rest of em.
Favorite Live Act / DJ to see perform:
Well having been to Detroit the past 2 years… I’ve been blessed with seeing some of the best… 2010 had Cassie, Ida and The Martinez Bros. 2011 had Heartthrob, Catz and Dogs and Guti…. But I would say my fav was probably Claude VonStroke, he never disappoints.
Do you produce, if so, where can your original productions be heard:
Watch this space.
Besides music, what else do you collect, if anything:
Besides music I collect watches, got like 12 of em… and fitted hats, got way more than I need. Hey.. it’s an addiction.
When is the best time to listen to dance music:
Is there really a “best” time… anytime works for this guy…
What do you order at the bar:
Good ol’ PBR… nuff said..
